Connect your TiVo BOLT
OTA to the internet.
Your BOLT OTA requires an internet connection so the TiVo
service can deliver the program guide, stream content from
popular apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, HBO GO, VUDU,
Pandora and YouTube,1 and stream content between TiVo
devices on your home network.2
Use one of the following methods to connect your TiVo BOLT OTA to the internet:
1. Wired Ethernet
Plug the included Ethernet cable into the back of the TiVo device. This method is ideal for streaming content between
TiVo devices.
2. Wireless
Your TiVo BOLT OTA has built-in wireless capability. Because
wireless network speeds vary, this connection method is not recommended for streaming shows between TiVo devices.

A Hulu subscription is required (and sold separately) to access Hulu content. Hulu is available only in the United States.

Not all recorded content can be streamed or downloaded to a laptop, tablet or mobile device (due to copy protection assigned by content provider and/or other technical limitations). Some recorded content can only be streamed/downloaded to your laptop, tablet or mobile device while you are on the same network as your TiVo BOLT OTA.
